To assist in procuring that the Club enters into a voluntary company arrangement in accordance with Schedule A1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 (as amended) which is binding upon its creditors.

In the event that purpose (a) cannot be achieved, to assist in procuring that the assets of the Club are acquired by a corporate entity which (i) has been incorporated with the intention of carrying on business of the Club in succession thereto and (ii) which has been accepted to full membership of the League.

In the event that either (i) the Club has entered into a voluntary company arrangement as referred to in purpose (a) above, or (ii) a body formed in succession to the Club is admitted to full membership of the League as referred to in purpose (b) above, to assist such entity in any way as the Trustees in their absolute discretion may decide including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) by donating any sum to the entity to assist it in carrying out its activities.

In the event that neither purpose (a) nor purpose (b) can be achieved, to procure or assist in procuring such other outcome as in the unfettered discretion of the Trustees is likely to secure the survival or continuity of the Club or a body in succession thereto.

In the event that the Trustees are of the view that the Trust no longer has a function to fulfil, either because none of purposes (a), (b), (c) or (d) have been achieved or in the opinion of the Trustees that there is no realistic prospect of any of them being fully achieved within a feasible time span, to procure that the remaining funds of the Trust (after deductions of all liabilities including the costs of winding up the Trust) are distributed among those who have donated to the Trust in proportion to the size of their donations, so as to achieve, in the unfettered opinion of the Trustees, as fair a distribution as is reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of those contributing to the Trust shall be entitled to receive a distribution in excess of that which they contributed, and in the event that after returning to each of the contributors the amount which they contributed there remains a balance within the Trust Fund (including any sums representing interest earned on sums contributed to the Trust), such balance shall be donated to any charity as the Trustees in their absolute discretion may select.
